OBITUARY.

Mr. LEWIS EMANUEL, one of the oldest practising solicitors in London, and the senior member of the firm of Emanuel & Simmonds, of 36, Finsbury-circus, E.C., died suddenly on Sunday last. He was born at Portsea, Hants, in 1832, and came to London at an carly age to practise as a solicitor. He was articled exactly fifty years ago, and had been a practising solicitor for forty-five years. He had been senior partner in the firm of Emanuel & Simmonds for upwards of twenty years, and the He was firm but recently admitted into partnership one of his sons. solicitor to several public bodies, including the Jewish Board of Deputies, the representative body of British Jews. He served for twenty-one years in the volunteers, and but recently received the long-service medal. His energy was indomitable, and undoubtedly led to his untimely end. Though physically strong, no highly-strung system such as his could possibly withstand the pressure of work which he voluntarily undertook in addition to his heavy professional labours. He was possessed of great

public spirit; in fact, all his leisure time was taken up in charitable, | educational, and political work. He was an eloquent speaker, and had strong political feelings. For many years he held the office of Speaker of the Kensington Parliament. He was, with the late Messrs. Firth and Beale, one of the leaders of the Municipal Reform League, and was a member of the Liberal-Unionist Federation. A pamphlet he wrote on "Corrupt Practices at Parliamentary Elections" received wide recognition in political circles. He was an earnest Jew and an energetic worker on the committees of most of the Jewish charities, but his charity and his charitable work extended far beyond the bounds of the Jewish community. Up to the hour of his death he was in the best of health and the best of spirits. On Sunday morning last he was engaged for two and a-half hours at an important meeting of the Board of Deputies. He had then to rush home to have a hasty meal, and then had to hurry off to the Old Ford Schools, where he had undertaken to preside at a prize-giving in the place of a gentleman who had been taken ill. He there made an excellent speech, full of humour; but as soon as the ceremony was over he was seized with sickness, became unconscious, and, in spite of all attentions and medical aid, died before his family could be summoned. The large number of wreaths sent by friends and public bodies shew the appreciation in which the deceased gentleman was held. The funeral took place on Wednesday last, and was largely attended, and included deputations from the Kensington Parliament, the Jewish boys of the Lewisham Industrial School, various companies of the Jewish Boys' Brigade, and the Jews' Infant School-institutions in which he had taken the greatest interest.

APPOINTMENTS.

Mr. RICHARD TOPPING BEVERLEY ATCHERLEY, solicitor, has been appointed a Commissioner to Administer Oaths in the Supreme Court of Judicature in England. Mr. Atcherley, who practices at 9, Arundel-street, Strand, was admitted a solicitor in November, 1890.

Mr. A. M. BREMNER, of the South-Eastern Circuit, has been elected a Bencher of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple in succession to the late Mr. Meadows White, Q.C.

GENERAL.

The Senate of Dublin University on Wednesday passed a grace for conferring the honorary degree of LL.D. upon, among others, Mr. Justice Collins.

The fifty-ninth annual report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records has been printed. It states that during 1897 the number of registered applications for the production of records, State papers, &c., was: In the legal search room, 15,104; in the literary search room, 27.742-making a total of 42,846. In the calendaring department of the office a considerable amount of work was done. Of the State papers relating to Ireland, of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, nine sheets of a volume dealing with the years 1599 and 1600 were passed for the press, and the remainder of the text was in type at the end of the year.

An amusing incident, says the Westminster Gazette, took place late the other evening at Norwich Assizes, where Mr. Justice Hawkins is sitting this week. The judge kept the court until nearly ten, in order to finish a long case, until at last the foreman of the jury plucked up courage to remind him that they had breakfasted at seven in the morning, and were hungry. "But surely you had some lunch?" said the judge. "We had one beef patty each, and some bread and cheese," said the foreman, and added slyly, "We have a suspicion that your lordship's lunch partakes somewhat of the character of a dinner, while ours was a very meagre one." But Mr. Justice Hawkins emphatically denied that he took a substantial midday meal. "Then everyone must agree that your lordship is the youngest man in court," said counsel, coming to the rescue of the famished jury, who were forthwith sent off to dinner without further delay.

At the Reading Assizes Mr. Justice Mathew, in charging the grand jury (says the Times), said that the opposition to the Criminal Evidence Bill which had recently arisen seemed to be greatly over-rated in importance. It was mainly based on what would seem to be an extraordinary ground. The object of the Bill was to prevent a grievous miscarriage of justice when an innocent man was condemned as a criminal. The Bill was opposed on the ground that a person unjustly accused would have less chance of escaping conviction under the new law. It was urged that the prisoner in the witness-box would be so bewildered and confused by the cross-examination of the prosecuting counsel, that his guilt would seem to the jury to be established. The suggestion involved a serious imputation on the bar for which there seemed to be no reasonable ground. Counsel well knew and faithfully observed the traditions of the profession. It was the duty of counsel for the Crown not to struggle for victory, but to assist judge and jury in ascertaining the truth. If from inexperience or undue zeal the line of duty should be overstepped, there was the judge, vigilant for the just administration of the law, and the jury, who would see clearly the wrong that might be done if the prisoner were treated unfairly. He had no fear that the bar would not be as faithful to their obligations in the future as they had been in the past. A further consideration seemed to him to show how

fanciful and ill-founded this objection was. In civil cases, where litigants might be examined and cross-examined, questions arose as important to individuals as liberty itself. A man's character, social position, all that made life worth living, might depend on the verdict in a civil cause. Take, for instance, a case where a libellous charge was made against a man of conduct criminal in its character and where justification was pleaded. The case had to be investigated on the same lines as an accusation of crime in our courts. It was not his experience that in such a case an innocent man could be so cross-examined that an unjust verdict would be pronounced. If this were their experience of cross-examination, it ought no longer to exist. But on the contrary, it was certain that, when properly and temperately administered, there was no better instrument for arriving at the truth.
